Finally, the Russia sanctions Law signed by Donald Trump.

President Donald Trump has finally signed the Russia
sanctions bill sent to him from the Congress but he's adding a statement
saying the administration will carry out the law with reservations
about its impact and the constitutionality of some provisions.
The bill is one of the first major pieces of legislation that was
sent to Trump's desk, and it represents a rebuke of the President by
giving Congress new veto power to block him from removing Russia
sanctions.

The signing statement lays out Trump’s concerns about the
legislation, including that it encroaches on presidential authority and
may hurt U.S. ability to work with allies.
